I’m working on improving my Ancient Greek, and when I learn a language I like to go all in and adopt as much of the target language culture into my daily life as possible (think: the AJATT guy eating everything with chopsticks). Obviously, I can’t adopt much Ancient Greek practices into my life, so I’ll settle with modern Greek stuff. I’ve gotten an ibrik/crève and am making Turkish-style coffee. What else can I do to enter Greek mode? Serious replies only.
>>200071170Greek religion, greek philosophy, greek sports, greek gay sex with twinks.
>>200071170>>200071636Also greek music playlists, greek translated literature, greek clothes at home. And cook authentic ancient greek foods from the Cooking History channel guides.

>>200071671>Already reading the Greek New TestamentI was talking more of an ancient greek pagan religion.>running a marathonWrestling. Was popular among philosophers too. Spear throwing. Disk throwing. Sprinting. Workouts (not in the gym).>do the twinks have to be Greek too?Preferably yes.
>>200071693Already got a mortgage. Can’t take naps though. >>200071736This guy gets it>>200071747Outdoor workouts. Got it. I can’t get behind the polytheism though. It just seems kind of cringe.
>>200071820>It just seems kind of cringe.How so? Yahweh started out as a pagan deity too.
>>200071859Well, I guess I think it’s cringe in the modern day. As much as I love Greek mythology and find the worldview displayed in Homer so comfy and enchanting, I can’t sit here in my air conditioned house and think about there being a sea god and a wind god and shit. I wish I could.
